Congratulations to our MIS Year 13 student Tommy who has achieved a ‘Top in the Country’ Outstanding Learner Award in his Cambridge AS exams for Computer Science, jointly achieving the highest standard mark in the country for AS Computer Science.


'Top in the Country'

Outstanding Learner Award

MIS: When you received the notice that you had won the "top in the country” award, how did you feel?



I was really surprised because I didn't think I would actually get an award like this. I told my friends, my classmates, my parents, but I didn't really believe it at first, because I felt I may have answer some of the questions wrongly.

MIS: Could you describe the AS exam you sat?



This year’s Computer Science exam was quite difficult in a sense that it was a new syllabus. We had no past papers to actually practice, so we had to use the old papers in reference which is from the old syllabus. Also taking into account, the new changes in the syllabus, it is complicated and hard to keep in mind. So it was quite difficult, I think.

MIS: How do you feel your teachers at MIS supported you to enable such an achievement?



My Computer Science teacher was very helpful in which he really emphasised that it was a new syllabus and the types of questions would change. He made us practice questions that are very different from the old syllabus and from old past papers. He used various resources to ensure we have covered all questions to practice with. So I think that was really helpful for me to tackle the new type of questions that I had to face in the new exam.

MIS: What motivates you to strive for personal best, to be the best at just 17?



To be honest, my motivation isn't really to get high scores or get better grades. My motivation is that I am very curious about how things actually work. I really want to be knowledgeable so that I am not blind to the engineering city of nature and other stuff that we have, other people have created and have been making use of. I want to know what is going on. So I always look into things and I always want to learn about it.

MIS: What advice would you give to other students on how to be the best that they can be?



I would really suggest them to not force themselves to learn and not to make learning boring. Learn efficiently when they are learning and also play as much as they want when they want to play. So they don't have the feeling of having to study. I want them to enjoy learning and studying like anyone should.

Tommy's AS Results


These awards are only given in subjects where there are a significant number of candidates, so this is a major commendation and it is richly deserved: Tommy’s achievement is a testament to his hard work and diligence.

曼校:当你得知你获得剑桥卓越学子奖的时候,你作何感想?



我非常吃惊,因为我完全没想到自己会得到这个奖项。随后我告诉了我的朋友、同学、父母这个消息,但我还是不能完全确信这是真的。因为我认为我在那次考试中做错了很多题。


2

曼校:你如何评价本次AS考试?



今年的计算机科学科目的考试从某种意义上说,是比较难的。今年是首次启用了新的教学大纲。所以我们在备考时,只能用过去的试卷做参考。另外新的教学大纲也很复杂,很难记忆。所以我认为这次考试挺难的。

曼校:曼校老师是如何帮助你取得这样的成就的?



我的计算机科学老师一直在跟我们强调今年会用新的教学大纲,出题方式也会有所改变。他带我们做一些跟旧教学大纲和过去试卷不同的试题。他搜索各种资源的学习材料,确保我们涵盖了所有要练习的试题。这些都对我应对第一年的新教学大纲下的考试很有帮助。

曼校:在17岁的年纪就有如此强大的内驱力追求卓越,你是如何做到的?



坦白地说,我的驱动力并不是拿到高分或者取得更好的成绩。我的驱动力来自于我对于“世界是如何运行的”的强烈好奇心。我很希望变得很博学,这样我就不会对周遭的城市运作和我们所拥有的东西视而不见,而仅仅因为其他人创造发明出来某样东西之后,我仅仅是使用它们。我想知道它们到底是如何运行的。所以,我始终对于周遭的事物抱有好奇心,我希望了解它们。

曼校:对于曼校的其他同学,如何做到精益求精,你有什么建议吗?



我建议他们不要“强迫”自己学习,让学习变得无趣。在学习的时候,要高效,同时在自己想休息的时候就好好玩耍。不要有一种自己“被迫”学习的感觉。我希望他们可以享受学习,这是学习的最佳打开方式。
